Skill level?

So as I keep saying I’m a new diagnosed that I didn’t instigate.

i can do everything,. I really can.. I see it being done and I can do it, give me a week and I can do it just as good if not better.

so if I want to do something, let’s say computer programming.. I will Google the hell out of it and will have something different to show for it aweek later.. but if I have a couple of weeks off programming,  then all is forgotten! 

anybody want to share feelings on this trait? 

I always need to keep busy or I pace, involuntary movements.. self harm mehhhhhhhhj I guess attaching my self to this forum is one of them things right now

  • If I could remember 10% of what I have learned over the years I would be happy.  I got into Mensa when I was a teenager and I pick things up easily but my trouble is staying focused.  I am so easily distracted that I have trouble keeping at learning something. 

    I have a very interesting book by Temple Grandin called The Autistic Brain which looks at ASD from a scientific perspective and dives in to how our brains are different, however I have to read it in small chunks or my mind wanders and I need to do something else. 

    This probably explains why I am just a programmer and not a CEO or some tech company.
